Peoples,
OK, Tetsuya posed the question yesterday "where are we".
Thanks for the prompt!
I have updated the mirror page with binary downloads as per Jeff's
suggestion.
The projects that were left were :
xerces-j - DONE (I think? Anyway I have added to cgi page :>)
xerces-p - NOT DONE
xalan-j - IN PROGRESS
batik - NOT DONE
commons - DONE
axKit - NOT DONE
So, no movement (I think?) on Xerces-P, Batik or AxKit. Is anyone
willing to take on?
I am going to add one more link to the mirrors.cgi page, to point to the
old download directory for those projects not yet converted, and then I
will publish.
BTW - Have also added an ApacheCon logo to the front page.
Cheers,
Berin

Peoples,
The general xml.apache.org mirrors page I think is pretty much done.
Many thanks to Jeff for his (very patient :>) assistance with Forrest
and to Vadim and others for their suggestions for changes.
http://xml.apache.org/mirrors.cgi
Let me know any other updates you want. If I hear nothing I will link
on the sidebar in place of the old Downloads link.
In terms of sub-projects, a number have moved accross, but we still have
6 to go.
Any volunteers? :>.
STILL TO MOVE TO MIRRORED DISTRIBUTION
xerces-j
xerces-p
xalan-j

axKit
MOVED TO MIRRORED DISTRIBUTION:

Cheers,
Berin

Peoples,
I think many are aware that the ASF has put in place a system that
allows other sites to mirror the files available for download from the
various Apache web sites. This is all goodness - it allows people to
download from closer to home at the same time as reducing the bandwidth
utilisation for the main Apache site.
The XML project is lagging a bit behind other projects in moving to this
new scheme, and it's time we bit the bullet and made this happen. The
aim is to try to do this within 2 months - i.e. by the end of October.
Of the various XML sub-projects, fop, forrest and security have already
moved over to the new system. That leaves :
Xerces-J
Xerces-C
Xerces-P
Xalan-J
Xalan-C
Batik
Commons
Xindice
AxKit
It would be great if the PMC members could look at what needs to be done
to make this happen for their sub-projects. If people could report back
to General as to who is going to take on what and then how they are
going, I will keep a status list.
Having done this for the xml-security sub-project, I can vouch for this
not being a huge piece of work :>.
Instructions for what needs to be done can be found at :
http://cvs.apache.org/~bodewig/mirror.html
and
http://www.apache.org/dev/mirrors.html
We probably also want to put together a general download page for the
project - but one thing at a time :>.
Cheers,
Berin
